* fix(push_branch): retry transient push errors and surface full stderr/stdout
issue #571 motivated three small improvements to `mcp__pullfrog__push_branch`:
1. classify push errors into `concurrent-push` / `transient` / `unknown`.
- `concurrent-push` extends the existing `fetch first` / `non-fast-forward`
matcher to also catch the server-side `cannot lock ref` form (the case
#571 reports). all three route to the same fetch + integrate + retry
recovery message; copy now mentions concurrent push as a likely cause.
- `transient` covers RPC failed, early EOF, connection reset, dns flake,
HTTP 5xx, HTTP/2 stream not closed, and unexpected sideband disconnect.
these are retried in-tool with 2s + 5s backoff before surfacing the
error. push is idempotent so verbatim retry is safe.
- `unknown` (auth/permission/protected-branch/4xx) is rethrown unchanged —
retrying these wastes time and noise.
2. surface stdout alongside stderr in `$git` failure messages and include the
exit code. previously only `stderr.trim()` was forwarded, which could be
empty in rare HTTPS failure modes (the agent on issue #571's run saw a
one-line `failed to push some refs` and had nothing to diagnose with).
3. unit tests for the classifier covering all three branches plus the
concurrent-push-wins-over-transient ordering.
does not introduce auto fetch+rebase+retry inside the tool — that path is
blocked under shell=disabled, can leave the working tree mid-conflict, and
would create unwanted merge commits. the recovery message keeps the agent
in the loop.

* fix(push_branch): retry 429, jitter backoff, downgrade retry log to info
- treat HTTP 429 (rate-limit / abuse detection) as transient — GitHub
occasionally surfaces it on git push, where it is retry-safe unlike
401/403/404
- add ±25% jitter to backoff so concurrent agents hit by the same
upstream blip don't retry in lockstep
- log retries with log.info instead of log.warning to match retry.ts
convention; a successful retry shouldn't leave a yellow GHA annotation
behind in the job summary

Pullfrog is a GitHub bot that brings the full power of your favorite coding agents into GitHub. It's open source and powered by GitHub Actions.
Tag @pullfrog — Tag @pullfrog in a comment anywhere in your repo. It will pull in any relevant context using the action's internal MCP server and perform the appropriate task.
Prompt from the web — Trigger arbitrary tasks from the Pullfrog dashboard
Automated triggers — Configure Pullfrog to trigger agent runs in response to specific events. Each of these triggers can be associated with custom prompt instructions.

and more...
Pullfrog is the bridge between your preferred coding agents and GitHub. Use it for:
🤖 Coding tasks — Tell @pullfrog to implement something and it'll spin up a PR. If CI fails, it'll read the logs and attempt a fix automatically. It'll automatically address any PR reviews too.
🔍 PR review — Coding agents are great at reviewing PRs. Using the "PR created" trigger, you can configure Pullfrog to auto-review new PRs.
🤙 Issue management — Via the "issue created" trigger, Pullfrog can automatically respond to common questions, create implementation plans, and link to related issues/PRs. Or (if you're feeling lucky) you can prompt it to immediately attempt a PR addressing new issues.
Literally whatever — Want to have the agent automatically add docs to all new PRs? Cut a new release with agent-written notes on every commit to main? Pullfrog lets you do it.
Standalone Usage
You can also use pullfrog/pullfrog as a step in your own workflows. The action exposes a result output that can be consumed by subsequent steps.
Example: Auto-generate release notes on new tags
name:Releaseon:push:tags:['v*']permissions:contents:writejobs:release:runs-on:ubuntu-lateststeps:- name:Checkoutuses:actions/checkout@v4with:fetch-depth:0- name:Generate release notesid:notesuses:pullfrog/pullfrog@v0with:prompt:| Generate release notes for ${{ github.ref_name }}.
Compare commits between this tag and the previous tag.
Format as markdown: summary paragraph, then ### Features, ### Fixes, ### Breaking Changes sections.
Omit empty sections. Be concise.env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY:${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}# write to file to avoid shell escaping issues with special characters- name:Create GitHub releaserun:| notesfile="$RUNNER_TEMP/release-notes-$GITHUB_RUN_ID.md"

gh release create ${{ github.ref_name }} --title "${{ github.ref_name }}" --notes-file "$notesfile"env:GH_TOKEN:${{ github.token }}NOTES:${{ steps.notes.outputs.result }}
Example: Structured Output with Zod Schema
You can force the agent to return structured JSON output by providing a JSON schema. This allows you to reliably parse and use the agent's response in subsequent workflow steps.
You can define your JSON schema directly or uou can use any validation library that converts to JSON Schema. Here's an example using Zod:
name:Release Checkon:pull_request:types:[closed]jobs:check-release:if:github.event.pull_request.merged == trueruns-on:ubuntu-lateststeps:- uses:actions/checkout@v4- name:Install dependenciesrun:npm install --no-save --no-package-lock zod @actions/core- name:Generate Schemaid:schemarun:| node -e '
import { z } from "zod";
import { setOutput } from "@actions/core";
const schema = z.object({
version: z.string().describe("Semantic version number (e.g. 1.0.0)"),
isBreaking: z.boolean().describe("Whether this release contains breaking changes"),
changelog: z.array(z.string()).describe("List of changes in this release"),
});
setOutput("schema", JSON.stringify(z.toJSONSchema(schema)));
